leave.”
He took the napkin from the table then threw it back down. “She was right this was boring” he said exhaling strongly then giving a deep sigh.
“Why did you bring her here anyways?”
Ramón sighed “I wanted a normal date whatever that is.”
“Yeah and you see how that went.”
Aj held out his hand to help Gia take a seat and waved the waiter to bring him one. As the waiter brought a seat over Ramón looked at him.
“Aj what’s wrong with me?” Ramón placed his hands over his head. Aj looked at him with his head cocked to the side.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean she was beautiful but that is it.”
“What’s going on here you love the beautiful ladies. They mean everything to you.”
“Yeah they use to. But now I want more than that.”
Gia sat strait up. “More like how?”
“I don't know.”
She smiled.
“Well I do…my brother went through it and so did Aj. You want more than just some trophy girl. More than some beauty on your arm and I think it’s about time.”
“What makes you think you know so much?”
Gia laughed. “Because I am the wife of a tall dark and sexy basketball player who on his last date before he met me said he was tired of the faceless nameless fake breasted women. He wanted a real woman and when he met me he knew I was it.”
“How?”
Aj took her hand.
“She wasn’t like anyone I had ever met. She wasn’t impressed with how talented I was or how much I was worth she was more interested in me who I was my favorite hobby stuff like that. When I realized how wonderful she was I had to keep her.”
“But how did you know?” Ramón asked with pleading eyes. He needed to know the secret he needed to know how to get his “One”.
“Well it started with our second date. I had told her that I was really into Anime which you know and instead of acting interested like the other girls she laughed at me. Called me a dork but still sat there and watched it with me. Then preceded to tell me how bad it was but she was honest and the next date she brought me video that I told her I had been wanting to see. She got me wanted to know me for who I was and she made me feel like I was the most important man in her life not because I was famous but because I was a man she was interested in knowing.”
Ramón looked at them wanting to find that kind of love in his life.
“How do I find that?”
“You gotta wait for it. She’s out there you just gotta find her.” He kissed Gia’s hand.
“And when you do you can never let it go.”

As Desiree walked into Mount Glory’s Baptist Church, she was over taken by the sheer beauty of the place. The outside of the church was surrounded by neatly trimmed trees and tall rose bushes stood around the side of this Spanish brick building. She walked inside threw the elegant redwood double door and smiled at the inside of the church. As she left the main entrance smiled at beauty of the stained windows. She exhaled as she walked the pews with Zack and Charles.
“Hey guys I am going to go to the bathroom I will be right back ok?”
“Ok.”
Desiree walked to the bathroom and bumped into a cute little girl. The girl looked to be seven maybe eight. She had the cutest dimples and her dark brown hair was up in two lopsided pigtail plaits. She was a hazel-nut brown com pletion with the most adorable hazel eyes.
“Oh I am so sorry sweetie. Are you ok?”
The little girl looked up to her and smiled.
“Yes. I was just trying to get outside quickly.”
“Well I am sorry to hold you up.”
“I haven’t seen you around here before.” She looked up to Desiree smiling a confused smile.
“Oh I am only here one day.”
She bent down to the girl.
“I seemed to have messed up your hair. I can fix it for you.”
The little girl touched her hair and looked away.
“It wasn’t you. My daddy tries. Usually my nana does my hair but today daddy wanted too.”
“Well if you want I can still fix
